Research

My research concerns how people from diverse sociocultural backgrounds make sense of the world, and how their lived experiences associated with culture, ethnicity, and race affect their psychopathology and addictive behaviors. Using a social ecological framework, I study intercultural contact, close relationships, and intrapersonal characteristics as determinants of psychopathology, including alcohol and drug use. I am interested in measurement development and psychometrics, and metascience (i.e., research about the research process).
